GA-945GCM(X)-S2 Motherboard - 46 - English CPU Smart FAN Control Disabled Disable this function. Enabled When this function is enabled, CPU fan will run at different speed depending on CPU temperature. Users can adjust the fan speed with Easy Tune based on their requirements. (Default value) CPU Smart FAN Mode This option is available only when CPU Smart FAN Control is enabled. AutoBIOS autodetects the type of CPU fan you installed and sets the optimal CPU Smart FAN control mode for it. (Default value) VoltageSet to Voltage when you use a CPU fan with a 3-pin fan power cable. PWM Set to PWM when you use a CPU fan with a 4-pin fan power cable. Note: In fact, the Voltage option can be used for CPU fans with 3-pin or 4-pin power cables. However, some 4-pin CPU fan power cables are not designed following Intel 4-Wire fans PWM control specifications. With such CPU fans, selecting PWM will not effectively reduce the fan speed.

GA-945GCM(X)-S2 Motherboard - 50 - English 2-10Set Supervisor/User Password When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password. Type the password, up to eight characters, and press . You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and press . You may also press to abort the selection and not enter a password. To disable password, just press when you are prompted to enter password. A message PASSWORD DISABLED will appear to confirm the password being disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely. The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify two separate passwords: SUPERVISOR PASSWORD and a USER PASSWORD. When disabled, anyone may access all BIOS Setup program function. When enabled, the Supervisor password is required for entering the BIOS Setup program and having full configuration fields, the User password is required to access only basic items. If you select System at Password Check in Advance BIOS Features Menu, you will be prompted for the password every time the system is rebooted or any time you try to enter Setup Menu. If you select Setup at Password Check in Advance BIOS Features Menu, you will be prompted only when you try to enter Setup.
